The best thing, in this case, is to let them be. What most people don't realize is that you cannot change the mind of someone who is not willing to listen to you. You can wake a sleeping person up, but a person who is determined to keep their eyes closed cannot be awakened. Similarly, it is almost futile to try to prove ourselves right in the face of objection. I know it is easier said than done but one should remember that ultimately, the truth comes out. Maintaining an indifferent attitude towards these circumstances gives you inner peace. So, try to achieve that and I hope your problem gets resolved. All the best!

Try to provide some evidence on what you say, and make sure that you speak clearly. If people still believe that what you are saying isn't true, you can ask them why they think this way. In any case, remain calm because others might just want to check if you actually believe in yourself! Just try to listen to them and then voice your opinion. Even if they don't change their mind immediately, your consistency will gain their trust. Be patient with them but don't hesitate to speak the truth! If you know that what you are saying is valid, you don't need to worry

If you think that people think that you are lying, try to find out what they really think or make sure if they really think that, it's best to ask them why when they are in a good mood. Additionally, you can arrange a time to have a discussion so they know that you are taking this seriously. Don't jump to conclusions right away as that can result in misunderstandings. Truth is honesty. Honesty is truth. So find a way and think ahead on how you can prove that you are telling the truth. After all, honesty is the most powerful tool one could have so use it wisely and all the time!

I guess it might be some misunderstanding or they took it some wrong way. Because if you are saying the truth they have the right to truth and you shouldn't be the one at question for your honesty. Give some explanations if that work, now I don't know the exact case but I am just assuming that their might be two situations to this 1. This is a mere misunderstanding and can be cleared out by talking it out. 2. They have just make up their minds that you are lying. If it is the second case and it causes you negligible outcome then just don't be bothered by it. Things fade away with time it'll eventually be better.

If there's one thing to know, it is that people will always be a little skeptical of what you say to them. They like to weigh your words and apply their own life experiences before making a decision if you are lying or being honest with them. Defending yourself when someone calls you a liar would be the most obvious choice, but quite often, there's very little it can do to change their mind. Your defensiveness is what can become your undoing. That doesn't mean you don't have to defend yourself but do so in a calm and collected manner, without raising your voice or blaming someone else. The other thing to know is that you may have to live with the fact that someone does not believe you. Acceptance is difficult, but ultimately essential to keep moving on in life.

I would want to pause and reflect back on my behavior and think about earlier experiences with these people who say that I am lying, respond back to them in more authentic way. This will help them understand that I am a genuine person who wants to have good and secure relationships in life and that I care about them. I will also reflect back on my behavior and see where can I alter my thoughts and behavior further, to face my fear due to which I ended up lying to others. I would want to face these fears one at a time.

You can convince someone who is set to misunderstand or judge you in any way. You can do your best to explain yourself but in the end, some people will be forever stuck in their beliefs. I am sorry if you are feeling hurt, it sucks when someone believes that you have done something wrong when you haven't but I would look into more of why you care that you can't convince them. Do you often try to explain yourself to people? Does it make you upset that they find you untrustworthy? EIther way if you explained yourself there is nothing else you could do, it is not your fault

I’ve been in your position, and I understand how frustrating it can be when people think you're lying. It can feel isolating and discouraging, but what really helped me was staying calm and resisting the temptation to over-explain myself. I learned that being honest and consistent, even when it feels like no one believes you, is key. Eventually, your truth will shine through. It’s challenging, but you don’t have to waste energy trying to convince everyone. Let your actions speak for themselves, and remember that not everyone needs to understand you. The most important thing is staying true to yourself.
